Meet the People Who Are Grateful for Trump’s ‘America First’ Climate Policy

The Energy Department is closing an office that works with other countries to develop clean energy technology, another sign of the Trump administration’s retreat on climate-related activities after its withdrawal from the Paris agreement this month.
The 11 staff members of the Office of International Climate and Technology were told this month that their positions were being eliminated, according to current and former agency employees. The office was formed in 2010 to help the United States provide technical advice to other nations seeking to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The small office also played a lead role preparing for the annual Clean Energy Ministerial, a forum in which the United States, China, India and other countries shared insights on how best to promote energy efficiency, electric vehicles and other solutions to climate change.
The office is the only one in the Energy Department to have “climate” as part of its name.
The Trump administration has scaled back the federal government’s involvement on global warming on a number of fronts, scrubbing mentions of “climate change” from a variety of agency websites and unwinding climate regulations at the Environmental Protection Agency.

I can only imagine how many other gravy train boondoggles are going on worldwide.
I'm sure all the salaries are way up in the six figures.
Just another worthless Leftist dimnitiative.
Tag line applies.
Far more needs to be one.
Far more needs to be done.
Well, THAT didn’t take long! Thank You, Mr. President!
*TRUMP BUMP*
“I can only imagine how many other gravy train boondoggles are going on worldwide.”
The truth of the matter is that the United States has been “the world’s gravy train for all of my nearly 77 years! We would not be “broke” as we are today if we hadn’t been the “world’s wallet.” What we’ve done with all of this spending is try to “buy friends” and to make possible the ability of the other country’s of the world to spend their money on themselves while we picked up their part of the tab for a host of things. They are all squealing because they know that the US piggy bank is closing up shop.
Nice retirement benefits, too.
Odd they didn’t mention how much it cost to run this bogus office each year. Cost the taxpayers, that is! BRAVO Pres. Trump. MAGA!
AND... the politicians are squealing because the foreigners who receive these funds donate back to the politicians who authorized these funds (even though that is illegal).
It's always about the money.

Meet the People Who Are Grateful for Trump’s ‘America First’ Climate Policy
"Retreat hell! We're not retreating, we're just advancing in a different direction." - USMC Gen Oliver P. Smith, commanding the 1st Marine Division during the Battle of Chosin Reservoir, 1950
In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex . .. . . the free university . . . has experienced a revolution in the conduct of research . . . The prospect of domination of the nation's scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money . . . is gravely to be regarded.
. . . we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite. Eisenhower’s Farewell Address
